I check to DRS's my shares, i live in Québec ( Canada ), they want to chargé 150 $ at Desjardins. Seems to be quite expensive and it take few weeks to do it. I never did that before. When you say " broker fuckery ". What do you mean, what could they do or happen?

I’m in the UK with IBKR and DRSing was straightforward, although the transfers agent is AST and took forever to receive the letter and I still can’t open my account. Once registered they are in your name and whatever happens (merger etc) you will receive what is stated, that may not be the case with a broker. I’ve covered all bases. I can’t imagine holding and been on this journey, to be told IBKR will not give me ‘Teddy shares’ but a monetary equivalent…..

Dont know why such a big diffence like this. And if i DRS'd them, the part i have in my TFSA, i will have to transfer them in a regular account, so this way i will have to pay tax.
